It tells you exactly which two parent commits this merge actually joins. In terms of patches -- this tells you which two different "lines" of patches this commit consolidates. This isn't unimportant information. Think of Solr and Lucene, for example -- the merge commit that glues the two projects together looks exactly like the one above: it connects two different lines of (thousands) of patches that in the result form Lucene-Solr. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
